He also reflected on his other shows and talked about the cancellation of 2020 programme Home Fix.

The BBC recently confirmed the DIY show wouldn’t return to screens after two series.

Speaking about the broadcaster’s decision to focus on new shows, Jay told the Daily Express: “That’s one of the things is that when I first got into this TV world.

“It’s like, you have to be doing so much stuff and sometimes it’s just that you can’t do everything.

“I wish I could do everything but sometimes you need a break.

“And I don’t want to go on a burn out you know, where you just burn yourself out.

“So, I feel good and I feel sad. I feel sad because I’m not going to be doing it. I feel good because that means I can break and I can really recharge my batteries.”

He added: “So you need to put back in, and the really brilliant company we have are always making sure that you can speak to someone and offload and all that kind of stuff.

“So sometimes they just say to us, ‘Make sure you take care of yourself.’”

The 52-year-old also talked about what his new series No Place Like Home was like to film.

The three-parter sees the TV favourite journeying around his childhood neighbourhood in Hackney to discover the history on his doorstep.

“It’s unbelievable what I discovered within Hackney,” he remarked.

“Just meeting my old mates, but also meeting historians that knew everything about it.”

Jay Blades: No Place Like Home continues on Tuesday at 9pm Channel 5.
